Opportunity for Underrepresented Groups Exploring Graduate Studies in Neuroscience

Posted by Tim on January 21, 2022 in Academics, Networking, New Programs

We are excited to inform you about Columbia Neuroscience Access (CAN), a new program hosted by Columbia University in the City of New York to increase participation of students from underrepresented groups in Neuroscience research. This two-day (virtual) program offers highly motivated candidates’ information on subjects including how to compose a competitive application, how to navigate graduate school interviews and about life as a PhD student, as well as talks about the latest neuroscience research. Participating CAN students will also be able to network with faculty and students and will have the option of enrolling in the CAN-buddy program to receive continued guidance on how to improve their graduate school candidacy, including preparing their application package.

We would be grateful if you could bring this opportunity to the attention of qualified prospective applicants currently enrolled in your program and share the attached flyer. Deadline to apply is February 25, 2022. More information can be found at https://www.neurosciencephd.columbia.edu/columbia-access-neuroscience-can

Please feel free to contact us if you have any comments or questions at accessneuro@cumc.columbia.edu

On behalf of the entire CAN team,
